Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA blind XXE (XML External Entity) vulnerability in Progress Telerik Report Server allows authenticated low-privilege users to read arbitrary system files by crafting malicious XML reports with external entity references that resolve to file:// URIs.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed Telerik Reporting versionLocate the Telerik Report Server or Telerik Reporting installation and retrieve the version number from the application, typically found in the About page, assembly info, or installation directoryAffected if The installed version is lower than 10.1.24.514
-
Confirm XML report creation is enabledVerify that the report creation/upload functionality is available to users in the Telerik Report Server interfaceAffected if Users can create or upload XML-based reports in the system
-
Verify low-privilege user access existsCheck if non-admin users have access to the report authoring or upload featuresAffected if Authenticated users with limited privileges can access report creation functions
-
Confirm web interface is accessibleDetermine if the Telerik Report Server web interface is network-accessible (internal or external)Affected if The reporting interface is reachable by authenticated users
You are affected if your Telerik Reporting installation is version 10.1.24.514 or higher is not applied, and low-privilege authenticated users can access the XML report creation feature.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped10.1.24.514
Disable external entity processing in the XML parser configuration, apply vendor patches if available, or upgrade to a fixed version of Telerik Report Server.
10.1.24.514 or later for Telerik Reporting; 2024 Q2 (10.1.24.305) or later for Report Server
- Identify whether the affected installation is Telerik Reporting or Telerik Report Server
- For Telerik Reporting: Upgrade to version 10.1.24.514 or later
- For Telerik Report Server: Upgrade to version 2024 Q2 (10.1.24.305) or later which contains the fixed Telerik Reporting component
- Verify the upgrade by checking the product version after installation
- Test the XML import functionality to confirm the vulnerability is remediated
